Yea, maybe. But it's not necessary to switch off any brain, when such a dependency is detected. I think the HEAT tool would be a good candidate, since it generates a .wxs file that should be edited manually. The great benefit of such feature is that you don't create a MSI file that installs a product on your development PC but does not run on a system where this run-times are not installed.
